Thinking About Giving Up?

DAY 2 OF 3

DO NOT STOP. GET READY!

In the original, the text says something like "many are called but few PARTICIPATE... few ARE WILLING... few RESPOND WITH FAITH. Do you know what this makes me think? Whether one is chosen or not is one's willingness to be used. If you respond to God's proposal for your life, you are chosen; now, if you do nothing about it, you remove yourself from that position.

We charge God a lot about nothing going right when it comes to calling, ministry, about Him not keeping His promises, or taking too long to fulfill them... But we "forget" that we need to do our part too. He won't make us take off in our spiritual life by a miracle (not that that doesn't happen). Still, when we think about being discouraged because God "doesn't keep his promises," it just shows that we're being selfish because we only think about ourselves and not in the Kingdom.

He knows everything that will happen, He knows your heart (which worries me a lot and I always say that), He knows how much you have been searching/crying... He knows EVERYTHING and still calls you. But and you? Are you willing? Are you willing to sacrifice some things to be able to experience everything that He has set aside? If it gets difficult, remember: it's for the greater good! It's for the KINGDOM!
